So, the spoiler culture in gaming is a weird one. Nintendo has been sharing a ton of new footage and information about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild over the last seven months. They’ve ramped it up a ton in the last few weeks leading up to the important release of the Nintendo Switch and Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Well, Nintendo of America tweeted out an image of Link with a new enemy today and Nintendo fans are not happy. You just have to look at the replies to see that fans really don’t want the game to be spoiled and think that Nintendo is spoiling their own games.
In all honesty, compared to what we’ve seen from Nintendo over the past few months, this hardly seems like a spoiler. I know that people are excited for Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but Nintendo has to promote their games for people that might not be interested in picking up the game.
GODDAMMIT NINTENDO YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPOIL IT
